Why would you text someone safe or out? Wasnt the umps call clear enough?

I assume it stems from the umpire’s union. You can understand why the umps wouldn’t want fans to see close calls, but come on it’s 2009… if you blow the call you can stand there and get ooed. I’m not saying show a replay of every ball and strike call as they do on TV, but I think the fans have the right to see a reply of a bang bang call on the bases. The other irritating thing is that sometimes on unorthodox calls, lets say catcher’s interference, it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on from the stands so a reply would help clarify things.

Also I wonder if the Yankee radio booth is going to have a monitor in the new stadium.

For what it’s worth, this is also SOP in MiLB as well. We had a game ops guy that we brought over from Arena Football a few years ago, and in his first homestand he showed a few replays of close plays – he was instructed immediately not to do so anymore.

Teams actually get fined by mlb, and written up from the umps if they show close plays/home runs/ect….it’s always been the rule.

The NFL is the only sport that does…NHL doesn’t show any of the plays that go to Toronto, and who really cares what the hell they do in the NBA.

It is weird that you can’t have that but understandable. The umps could be attacked by some drunk fans.

that’s what baseball tonight is for. hopefully tho thats what mlb network’s version will be for because if i have to listen to kruk and steve philips go back and forth again ill vomit. plus harold reynolds was always the best analyst on that show anyway.

looks like it all worked out for harold “come over here and give me a hug baby so i can slap your ass” reynolds”
